Safety Issues: No safety issues were noted by me during the inspection.
Lat/Long: A review of the facility's coordinates on "Maps of DAQ Regulated Facilities" indicates the
facility latitude and longitude coordinates are accurate. No changes to the latitude and longitude
coordinates of this facility in IBEAM are needed. Latitude and longitude coordinates of this facility are
locked in IBEAM.
Email Contacts: The emails for the facility, authorized, technical, and invoice contacts were verified by
Mr. David FleminG,.,plant foreman. No -changes to the email contacts are needed in IBEAM.:
The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a multimedia inspection on May 9 and May 16,
2017. This asphalt plant was not in operation on May 9, 2017, but was in operation on May 16,
2017. Blythe Construction, Inc. operates. a drum mix type asphalt plant that produced 207,818
tons of asphalt while burning natural gas during calendar year 2016. The asphalt plant operates
on a varied schedule, which is dependent upon weather conditions and road projects. This facility
is subject to NSPS Subpart I -"Standards of Performance for Hot Mix Asphalt Facilities". Mr.
Steve Nearhood; plant superintendent; Mr. David Fleming, plant foreman; Mr. George Bennett,
equipment engineer; accompanied Andrew Martin of DWM; Donna Cook of DAQ and me during
this inspection on May 9, 2017. Mr. David Fleming, plant foreman, accompanied Mr. Brad
Newton of DWM and me during the inspection on May 16, 2017. Mr. Fleming stated that this
plant operates currently 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 4 to 5 hours per day on average, 5 days per week, 48
weeks per year.

Natural gas is the primary fuel source for the rotary drum dryer. No. 2 fuel oil is the backup fuel source
the rotary drum dryer. Recycled No. 4. fuel oil was last burned in the rotary drum dryer during
February 2009. No. 2 recycled and No. 4 fuel oils are listed in the permit description.as fuel sources for
the rotary drum dryer, but have never been burned in this dryer.
This" company.reported that 56,826 decatherms of natural gas was combusted by the rotary drum dryer
(1D No. DJHS2) and liquid asphalt hot oil heater (ID No. IES-7) during calendar year 2016. This i
company did not use any No. 2 fuel oil, recycled No. 2, No. 4 fuel oil, and recycled No. 4 fuel oil in the
rotary drum dryer during calendar year 2016.
Particulate matter emissions from the mix side of the rotary drum dryer are exhausted into the inertial f
separator (ID No. CD-1; referred to by this company as, the. knockout box or KO - box) .and then to the
pulse jet type bagfilter (ID No.. CD-2). At the base of the inertial separator (ID No. CD -I), the particulate i
matter emissions are fed into, the recycled collar. From the bagfilter (ID: No. CD-2), the particulate matter j
emissions are screw conveyed into the top of a box (referred to as LPOD; box with rotary air lock on
bottom) and screw conveyed into the recycled collar of the rotary drum dryer. This company has a gauge -
measured in inches of water that is used to determine the pressure differential across the bagfilter. The
gauge is located on -the control panel inside the plant office. !
Observed:. Rotary drum dryer was firing on natural gas during the inspection. Pulse jet type bagfilter
was in operation. I observed no -visible emissions from the: exhaust of the bagfilter stack.

insignificant/exempt activities) and then to a vibrating double deck screen (ID No. SCR-01; 4' x 8'). After
the screening process, these materials are conveyed via one virgin aggregate scale conveyor belt (listed as
conveying operations IE5-18 in insignificant/exempt activities) to one virgin aggregate slinger conveyor
belt (listed as conveying operations IES-18 in insignificant/exempt activities) and then into the inlet of the
rotary drum dryer.
A front end loader is used to place the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) into three grizzly screens and
then dropped into its respective three feeder bins (referred to rap storage bins; IES-20 in
insignificant/exempt activities). From the three feeder bins (IES-20), the RAP is conveyed via three
feeder belts (belt under the feeder in bottom of bin; listed as conveying operations IES-18 in
insignificant/exempt activities) then into another collector conveyor belt (listed as conveying operations
IES-18 in insignificant/exempt activities), and then into the vibrating double deck screen (5' x 10 ; ID No.
SCR-02). After the screening process, the RAP is conveyed via one scale conveyor belt (referred to also
as the weigh bridge conveyor; listed as conveying operations IES-18 in insignificant/exempt activities)
into the recycled collar of the rotary drum dryer. Mr. Fleming stated that 30% RAP was being used in hot
mix asphalt product.
This company hired an outside contractor, Black Rock Crushing, to crush RAP at this asphalt plant. Mr.
Fleming stated that the crushing of RAP was not been conducted during the inspection. I observed no
portable RAP crushing plant at this facility. An. email dated May 9, 2017 from Steve Nearhood, plant
superintendent, stated that 63,297.74 tons of RAP was crushed by Black Rock Crushing during calendar
year 2016.
Observed: Two vibrating double deck screens (one for sand and aggregate, and one for RAP) were in
operation. I observed no visible emissions from the two vibrating double deck screens.

Hot mix asphalt product from the rotary drum dryer is conveyed via the drag slat to the two hot mix
asphalt (lima) conveyors (referred to as traverse conveyors by this company; listed as conveying

mix storage silos (ID Nos. ES-1, ES-13, and ES-14 or company ID Nos. 1, 2, and 3). Hot mix asphalt
product is transported by the two hma conveyors into a designated hot mix storage silo by the plant
operator.
Hot mix asphalt is stored in the three electrically heated silos. Only the cone portion of the three silos are
heated. Hot mix asphalt is gravity dropped from the three storage silos into the beds of dump trucks.
Observed: Hot mix asphalt was being stored in the three storage silos (Nos. ES-1 or 1, ES-13 or 2, and
ES-14 or 3) during the inspection. Hot mix asphalt was being gravity dropped from one storage silo (ID
No. ES-14 or #3) into the beds of dump trucks during the inspection. The other two storage silos (ID
Nos. ES-1 or #1; and ES-13 or #2) were not in use during the inspection. I observed 10% visible

Observed. This facility is required per DAQ memo to perform the particulate matter
(methods 5 and 202) and visible emissions (method 9) testing on the rotary drum mix
asphalt dyer once every ten years. This office sent a letter dated September 13, 2013
advising this facility of emission testing procedures. This testing and its results will have
to be submitted to MR0 DAQ by November 11, 2021.
The last stack testing for visible (EPA reference method 9) and particulate (EPA
reference method 1-5-filterable PM & 202-condensible PM)_ emissions testing of the hot
mix asphalt" rotary drum dryer (ID No. DJHS2) was performed by Kleinfelder
Southeast, Inc. on November 11, 201.1. This plant was burning natural gas and actual
production rate of asphalt was 298.3 tons per hour during this testing. The results of this
testing indicated that this asphalt plant had a filterable particulate matter (PM) emission
rate of 7.7 mg/dscm; total particulate matter (PM ) emission rate of 1.08 lb/hr;
condensable particulate matter (PM) emission rate of 0.21 lb/hr; and Method 9 visible

6. PURPOSE OF. EVALUATION: To determine.compliance with hazardous waste management regulations
7. REPORT: On May 9, 2017, a multimedia inspection at the subject facility was conducted. The facility is currently
operating as a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG).
Blythe Construction, Inc. operates a drum mix type asphalt plant. The asphalt plant operates on a varied schedule,
which is dependent uponweather conditions and road projects. The facility generates used oil and aerosol
containers. A 15,000- gallon above ground tank labeled as "Waste Oil" is located onsite. The facility indicates that
the tank is not currently in use and empty (See Comments). The tank was historically used as a fuel source for the
asphalt plant. The waste oil was recycled oil provided by HazMat Transportation and Disposal. Used oil is
collected in 55-gallon containers.
8. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• It is a reminder that per 40 CFR 279.22 (c)(1), containers and aboveground tariks used to store used oil at
generator facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil."
• It is recommended that the facility relabel the waste oil tank to better reflect its contents.
• Aerosol cans could be listed as a hazardous waste. It is a reminder that the facility ensure that used, spent, or
waste aerosol containers are properly managed by conducting a waste determination per 40 CFR 262.11.
